- My lowest points, going bankrupt and struggling for money.

- The negativity I receive on YouTube, and how I struggle to deal with them.

- Sponsorships. Is it all about the money?

- Advice I would give to someone starting or trying to grow their YouTube channel.

- How to deal with your mental health and overcome challenges.

Hopefully my honesty helps in this one!

In this episode I share a recent vlog I recorded discussing passive income, and answering some of your business questions. Passive income is important, if you're looking to grow your wealth diversifying your income streams is important. I share some of my personal experiences as well as answering your questions including:

You’ve stated that you fully own Pete & Pedro and you partially own Tiege Hanley. Why do you do more marketing for Tiege Hanley than Pete & Pedro?

My team is working on creating a business plan for a mobile coffee company, i.e. having a truck and fulfilling mobile/online orders. We are having some trouble with the industry background component, though.

How do we identify areas of growth and market niches? How do we define our market in regard to size of potential market(s) and major segments of the overall market?

Can you share your thoughts on how to open an e-commerce men’s formal clothing line?

Alongside my thoughts on how to make passive income, one of the reasons Aaron got into real estate.

Hopefully this short episode helps, and the quicker you can start working towards passive income the better!
